Over the past couple of years, The Society of Sports Therapists has been working in collaboration with Connect Health, one of the largest providers of therapists to NHS Trusts, to develop a career pathway and job opportunities for Society Members, within this major employment area. Connect Health as an organisation, soon recognised the unique skills and knowledge that Society of Sports Therapists Society members have, which in turn resolved some of the issues they were beginning to face, with respect to the delivery of exercise in health service environments.
This podcast gives an overview of how Graduate Sports Therapists have become an integral part of the Connect Health philosophy. It also highlights some of the challenges that had to be overcome, as well as hearing from someone who, along with other Sports Therapy colleagues, is delivering an outstanding service that has been very much recognised and applauded. Their story clearly illustrates the opportunities that are there and increasing, for Sports Therapists who meet the criteria that both Connect Health and The Society of Sports Therapists expect.
